Briggs and Stratton engine carburetor model 303777 - 0015-02 problem

Many thanks to slomo for the advice. Yes, the fins, etc. have been cleaned and I shall provide better and more pics vs. waiting a month to take the engine to a repair shop.

The small hose?? fitting will allow the entire fuel tank to drain after the engine is started and shut off so there must be a connection to somewhere else on the engine.

As requested, upgraded photos of the B&S 303777-0015-02 carb provided. As there have been previous postings regarding this model (perhaps the 0015-02 designation is somehow different) I thought someone who had knowledge of this unit could provide info. re: hose connections. Thanks for your time.

There's clean then there's CLEAN. Um, you need to revisit this. Look to the left in your picture where the carb mounts. Getting pretty snakey there.

Show me the cooling fins. That grit and oil slime will insulate the fins and block causing overheats.
